Cornell team proposes new scheme for Lithium-sulfide battery cathodes

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Cornell University are proposing a new scheme for cathodes for lithium-sulfide batteries ( earlier post ) to prevent lithium polysulfide dissolution and shuttling during electrochemical cycling. They evaluated the synthesized material as cathode materials in a half-cell lithium battery. Click to enlarge.
